Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 6420. Alley, S. E., and Simpson, D. H. March 27. Starting and-stopping.-An emergency stop valve, actuated by a footlever, for cutting off the steam supply and putting the engine supply pipe i n communication with the atmosphere, is used in connexion with the engine stop valve on motor road vehicles. The steam passes through a lateral branch 2 to the valve casing, under the control of the valve 5. In the lower part of the casing is a treadle valve 7, which when raised cuts off the supply and puts the passage 3 in communication with the atmosphere. The treadle valvechest and screwdown stop-valve chest may be separate castings connected by a pipe. This arrangement may be used to produce a brake action on the vehicle. The stop valve is closed and the engine reversed and the valve 7 used to throttle the compressed air as it leaves the cylinders.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting and Tabulating Machines
Inventor: JARVIS HAROLD
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 8513. Jarvis, H. April 20. Typewriters.-In typewriters with tabulating - devices, the denomination stops are operated by a special set of key-levers, the depression of any of which also frees the carriage from the escapement, means being provided for maintaining freedom of the carriage until it is arrested by the denomination stop, the latter being then returned to inoperative position. The escapement D is rocked by all the character and denomination keylevers C<1> by means of rods e connected to the universal bar C<4> , but the denomination keys are not connected to typa-bars. They are, however, connected to arms on rock-shafts G having rearward arms g for lifting the rods g<1> on which the rear ends of the denomination stops h rest. When a rod g<1> is raised, the corresponding stop h is raised into position to engage the stops o<1> on the stop bar 0 of the carriage B. The escapement D, Fig. 6, consists of a pawl d<1> fixed on the dog frame D pivoted at d, and a movable pawl d' pivoted at d<5> on a dog d<2> pivoted at d<3> on the dog frame D. The dog d<4> is moved against a stop d<6> by a spring d<X>, when freed from the carriage rack b. A spring d<10> holds the dog d<2> in normal position but yields if the carriage is drawn back without raising it &c. The stop d<6> is mounted to slide on the dog d<2>, and is held in its normal raised position by a spring d<7>.. When a denomination key is depressed, the stop d<6> is drawn down by the rod m<3> connected to a pivoted frame M engaged by hooks c<5> on all the denomination keys. The pawl d<4> is then rocked free of the carriage rack, and operates to hold the stop d<6> in depressed position until the pawl is returned as described below. The stops h are pivoted on a slide H Figs. 1 and 2, capable of moving to a limited extent in the direction of movement of the carriage, but held in normal position by a spring- drum H<1> or suitable means. When the stop o' on the moving carriage engages the operated stop h, the slide H is moved (to the left of Fig. 2) until its end h<4> engages a rod l<3> on a piece L movable in a guide l<1>. An arm l<2> of this piece L engages and returns the pawl d', permitting the stop d<6> to rise to normal position. A fixed cam I finally operates a pivoted bail R to return the operated stop h to normal position.

Title: Improvements in Nut Locks.
Inventor: BURNHAM CORNELIUS WARNER
Filed: 1905-05-04
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 9400. Burnham, C. W. May 4. Locking nuts ; washers.-Relates to a locking- device for bolts and nuts in which a plunger in the nut can be arranged to engage a hole in a washer at different points of rotation. In Figs. 2 and 3, a double washer 16 with bolts 14 and locking-nuts 18<1> is shown applied to railway rails and joints. Around the bolt holes 18, at each end of the double washer 16, annular series of circular holes 17 are formed. Across one quarter of each nut 18<1> is formed a groove from which a passage 20 leads perpendicularly to the under face of the nut. The lower end 21 of the passage is recessed to form a cylindrical portion of greater diameter. A plunger 23, provided with a head 24, actuated by a spring 23<1>, works in the passage, and has a cross-piece 25 by which the bead can be drawn back into the passage as shown in the right-hand free position of the nut in Fig. 2. To lock the nut, the cross-piece 25 is alined with the groove, so that, when the plunger head lies above one of the annular holes 17 in the washer, the spring forces it into locking engagement therewith. Serrations are formed on the end of the plunger rod to facilitate its being drawn out of the groove by pliers to unlock the nut.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pneumatic Door-closing Apparatus.
Inventor: BURGER NORBERT
Filed: 1905-07-12
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 14,416. Burger, N. July 12. Door-closing apparatus door checks.-The cylinder b, Fig. 1, containing the spring e, is mounted on a base-plate c to which is pivoted the air cylinder a. The pressure of the spring e on the plunger f is regu. lated by the screw d. The plunger f has teeth with which to engage the toothed end g of the lever i pivoted on the pin h of the cylinder b. The lever i is jointed at i<2> to the rod connected with the door, its arm i<1> being connected to the piston-rod n of the air cylinder a by the joint k. As the door is opened the rod l turns the lever i in the direction of the arrow, so that the spring e is compressed through the toothed segment g and the plunger f, the arm i<1> at the same time moving the piston-rod n forward. The piston m, Fig. 3, and the end of the piston-rod n are arranged to avoid hissing. The piston m is loosely mounted on the conical end of the piston-rod n between the screwed piston body o and plate o'. The movement of the piston to the right brings the piston m against a nut p on the screwed end of the piston-rod, between the end of which and the piston a space n<3> is left for the escape of the compressed air. As the spring closes the door, the piston end is pressed against the piston body o so that the air can only pass through the small hole n<1> in the piston-rod. The air holes n<1> can be more or less closed by rotating the piston-rod to adjust the position of the nut p. The nut p has two wings p' which prevent its turning, a pin o<3> preventing its withdrawal.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines.
Filed: 1905-08-02
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 15,860. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 2. Armatures; field magnets; cooling and ventilating. -To improve the ventilation of field-magnet and armature cores, the laminµ of the external member are divided into groups by means of spacing-blocks or strips of special shape, and the bulk of the air drawn within the rotating core by means of fans is caused to pass out radially through the ventilating- spaces by making the end clamping-plates of the core laminµ with different internal diameters. Figs. 1 and 2 show a vertical-shaft direct-current generator with its internal revolving armature directly driven by a high-speed prime-mover, such as a steam turbine. The outer ends of the spider arms 3 are undercut to engage dovetail recesses 5 in the core laminµ, and are formed with projections 6 engaging shoulders 6<1> on the clamping- plates 7. The laminµ are divided to form ventilating-passages 12 by means of spacing-strips 10 and washers 13 on the bolts 8. Each lamina is provided with three full dovetail recesses 5 and two half recesses, and, to prevent eddy currents in the bolts 8 located between each pair of recesses, the latter are extended to form air gaps 14 between the bolts. The holes for the bolts may be reamered out after the core is assembled. Cylindrical flange portions 15 of the clamping-plates 7 support the projecting ends of the armature conductors. Laminated pole-pieces 33 are secured to the solid field poles 31 by means of dovetail projections 33<1>, and are slotted to receive compensating- windings 36. The laminµ are spaced apart by deflecting-strips 35, the inner ends of which are bent so as to be parallel to tho direction of the air currents set up by the armature. The outer ends of the spacing-strips may be reversely inclined to the inner ends, as shown. An annular member 41, secured to the field ring 40, supports a cylindrical drum 42, enclosing the armature and forming a casing for the blades 43. The upper clamping- plate 7 is made with a larger internal diameter than the lower clamping-plate, so that the bulk of the air drawn into the core through the upper opening is expelled radially through the passages 12. In a modification with an external armature, the laminµ are spaced apart by deflecting-strips such as 35.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Continuously Indicating Mean Working or Effective Pressure in Steam and like Engine Cylinders.
Inventor: ARNDT MAX
Filed: 1905-09-26
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 19,414. Arndt, M. Sept. 26, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Steam-engine indicators; pressure gauges.-Water or other measuring-fluid is allowed to'flow either to volume measuring-apparatus giving readings proportional to the time integral of the positive pressure on the piston, or to similar apparatus for the negative or back pressure, by means of a slide valve operated according to the effective pressure in the piston at the moment and co-operating with a selecting-device controlled by a reciprocating part. The piston k is subjected to the two pressures on either side of the engine piston, and controls with the aid of a spring f the extent of opening to right or left of the slide valve d, which moves over a port e gradually contracting towards the centre. The pivoted funnel 1, with shield 6, is moved from end to end of a small arc at each reversal of the engine piston by means of a cord, pulley, and bevel-gearing oscillating the lug 8 to throw over the pin 7 upon the funnel, and the arrangement is such that if there is no cushioning the valve and funnel will reverse simultaneously and water from the inlet s<1> will pass by the pipes 9, s<2> to the apparatus measuring mean positive pressure. Cushioning, on the other hand, will cause the valve to reverse before the funnel moves, and there will thus be a sbort interval during which water will pass down the funnel and by the aperture 2 and pipe s<3> to the apparatus measuring mean negative or back pressure.

Granted: 1908-06-05
Abstract: 5314. Bioxam, A. G., [Soc. Generale per la Cianamide]. March 5. Cyanides; cyanamides.-Nitrogen compounds are manufactured from carbides of the alkalies, alkaline earths, and earths, by locally heating the carbide in presence of the nitrogen by electric, chemical, physical, or other means, the greater portion of the carbide being at a temperature lower than the reaction temperature. The local heating may be brought about by mixing either with the nitrogen or carbide, substances which generate a high temperature in presence of the other, or by supplying powdered carbide to nitrogen heated to a temperature higher than the reaction temperature. The nitrogen may be supplied at a pressure greater than, equal to, or less than atmospheric pressure. Various substances are added to the carbide which render the mass more loose, and therefore more easily attacked by the nitrogen, or compounds of nitrogen, such as ammonia, which' may be used instead. The carbide may be used as such or in the form of its components ; in the latter case, however, the temperature must be such that carbide is formed before absorption of nitrogen commences.
